well they made themselves at home eating the place out of house and home. these manatees have to go. this morning the rescue for moving several manatees that are stuck on a golf course after hurricane hermine. and how do you say built ford tough in spanish? spored ceo explains decision to a move small car manufacturing to mexico. hey everybody it's an 8 o'clock i'm russell rhodes. i'm laura moody. good morning. thanks for waking up on us this thursday morning. roads are starting to back up now. we need to get straight over to courtney with a look at traffic. >> hi, yeah, laura we're dealing with some big delays along i-75 heading northbound approaching i-4. this accident scene moved over

but traffic is jammed back to this selman expressway. that's taking about 23 minutes to get from that point all way past this accident scene. you can take 30 one instead. of course we're seeing delays there as well but nearly as bad a what we're seeing along i-75. another serious problem is along macintosh road south of u.s. 92. very serious injury accident reported here rescue units have shut down the roadway. so gallagher road just to the east, even more lake road amounts bit further east. bo there as well. 8:01. temperatures starting off in lower 80s here in tampa. with that southwest wind. it's warm and muggy. look what's kind of sneaking up on citrus county. we've got showers developing right along the coastline. this is textbook when we get a southwest wind you start to pour showers on shore. be careful as you get some of tropical downpours crystal river, homosassa chassahowitzka, see how they are developing same thing in pinellas county and

by afternoon everything shifts inland. right now, 81 in tampa. with a dew point of very sultry 77 degrees. expect highs in upper 80s today. as the coastal showers this morning move inland later this afternoon. 8:02 right now. there are millions of people in this country with guns in their homes and many of them have children. >> and here in florida we know that doctors cannot discuss gun safety with their patients. but, research published just yesterday shows the majority of conversation. survey which was conducted in small area shows that is more than a third of children lived in houses with guns. >> so only 23 percent of the participants say their doctor ever talked to them about gun safety. many of them would like advice on matter. parents in particular right now physician around lobbying to treat gun violence a public health concern. law here in florida that prevents pediatricians from talking to gun owners is facing

chairman of pediatrics university of miami says unungsal injury as real concern and doctors should be a toebl talk to parents about hazards of own a. firearm. gun owners should be protected. and should in the have to answer any questions about gun ownership. 8:03 right now. one the least safest cities for women in our country can be found right here in florida. a survey by value penguin ranked miami 261st out of studied. researchers used 31 different factors including sexual assault and robbery rates in placed them in four different categorieses to determine the rankings. those categories of crime public policy, healthcare and education and wealth. statistics from the f.b.i. and cdc were used in the study and miami did not score well in any of those categories. tampa fared better coming in

fat and happy. that's a good thing but it is time to go. a group of manatees ended up in a golf course pond after hurricane hermine pushed them over a bridge. but today the they are a being rescued and they will be delivered back home. and m if's shayla reeves is live for news crystal river. and shayla, this is a big job ahead of these folks. how are they going to move these animals? >> they have a lot of work ahead of this and certainly going to take a lot of hands to make sure all of these manatees are moved to a different but as we've talking about throughout the morning we're not sure how excited they'll be once they see the difference between the pond and all of the food available there, maybe some the options on the other side of that bridge. i'm here right now with i van, he is with u.s. fish and wildlife service. you're going to be in water today helping with rescue. tell me about your role >> my role is to help coordinate and probably a group of about 50 people in the water. it's going to be the florida

park zoo usgs team rescue from clearwater and a many other local tour operators that basically they do swim with manatee tour guidings. and they are all going to be in water. and want to really coordinate logistics for the safety of the people rescuing manatees and also for sooift othe safety a m you mention a technique that it may take you time. tell me about the process. >> it may come to try to encourage manatees, that's difficult. we have a handler that is will be pretty much gliding over all of this vegetation floating on water to nudge them encourage them to a where netter will basically surrounding manatee and bringing them to shore. this could take a good four or five hours paddlers action, it may come to this. it's going to tough. and part of the challenge is they probably don't want to leave. tell me about this vegetation. this is like kale and broccoli

served until they are not done et they are not going to want to the go anywhere. how long does it go to sweet tomato and eat everything right now. going to tough to get them out. tell me about the a process of planning for today. you said it's taken ten days why has it taken so long to prepare for this moment? >> it really hard to count manatee when you have that much thickness, we have to fly drones to account for how many manatees there are. we which don't want to rescue how many we believe they are. we want to be sure exactly how many m lowest count is seven. we're really hoping that's the can is and no more thn 7. so in addition to that we had to rewait for true experts to be available and to see manatees were safe. we didn't really need to rush things we could just take our time, wait until right time and today's right time in beautiful weather. plenty of people, 50 different volunteers bringing people together was a big is challenge. >> all right thank you so much ivan for the your time and

thank you much. i appreciate it. we do know rescue operation will be getting under way in about an hour now. there's a press conference likely taking place a little bit before that. we're going to keep you post ad all of that gets under way action and of course hopefully we will able to show you as they are remove something of the manatee from the water during the 9 o'clock hour. back to you. shayla, tell me how far again these volunteers have to carry these manatee? >> we know that the area is about 200 yards is what they are telling us, the size of t pond. it's about ten feet deep. so i'm not exactly sure how close they are going to be able to back their vehicle up to carry the manatee to that vehicle for the medical checks. but hopefully it's not very far. we're told largest is about 1500 pounds they believe. so it's going to take at least 20 volunteers to get that manatee out of the water. so we'll see what happens. >> yeah. we'll keep you posted. >> all right shayla we look

thank you. almost 8:0 eight right now. and another effect to all of this rain 230 million gallons of sewage spilled into the bay with the majority of it dumped into boca ciega bay. and that does not include at waste that gushed from man holes into streets of st. petersburg. community members want answers from the city. and what being done to assure their water is safe and will stay that way. mayor kriseman says a plan in place to an expand cities treatment capacity over the next several years. however, st. pete's not alone dealing with this. hermine overkale sue war storm war systems sending nearly 175 million gallons of sewage into the bay. commissioner charley justice wants to create a task force to determine what needs to be done to keep this from happening again. the battle over regulating uber and lift in hillsborough is far from over. a packed meeting public transportation commission voted to advance the series of regulations for the ride sharing companies. that include background checks that require fingerprinting

cannot older than ten years and insurance requirements. the commission though did drop some of those more controversial measures like that $7 minimum fare and seven minute wait time ptc has to hold public forum before any regulations can put in place. companies are still threatening to leave the county if rules pass the final vote next month. more americans are losing there chance of a pretty teaed employment after ford announce it had will start manufacturing all of its mexico. ford ceo told investor it will make production simpler and more aared forable. he also says it will not have big exact on jobs in the near future saying no plans to cut any right now. another announcement is only for small cars. trucks and suvs will continue to be made in the u.s. as of right now. >> and flint michigan donald trump had lot to say about ford assist announcement. he says american companies should not be shifting jobs to other countries.

ppolicies would cost u.s. econoy $1 trillion over the next five years. study by oxford economics shows if his current plan were fully implemented it would cost americans 4 million jobs, weigh down global growth and u.s. consumer spending. at least two other studies have shown same outcome part of trump's plan 35 percent tariff. big problem is many u.s. companies ship to mexico. to have something made and then it is sold trump would bring high paying jobs to u.s. by creating stimulus plan and lower corporate taxes. new research shows men should not make any rash decision abouts treatment when it comes to early stage prostate cancer. instead they should think through the process because of our survival rate will pretty much remain the same regardless of the decision. two new studies published yesterday showed the survival rate for early stage prostate cancer is 99 percent after ten

they chose to closely monitor or have surgery and radiation. the lead researcher behind study says biggest take away is that there's no hard ?evidencethat treating a disease in its early stages makes a difference. he adds people should not rush to receive treatment but to weigh their options. >> many physicians are not happy about study they say he can interpreted in different ways. in the end best thing a person can do is talk to their doctor about all options. another humid day on tap. daves back in few minutes with skytower radar forecast. plus senator marco rubio wants all commercial flights to cuba grounded now. he says they are not safe. alcides is on that story next. >> and then charley belcher at a place where they can do a little diy. yep. you can do a little bit of whatever. that's why i called the place oh whatever in south tampa on manhattan. i like sign you can't buy happiness but you can buy local.

no u-s air marshals.. no flights to cuba.. that's the push from senator no u.s. air marshals no flights to that push from senator ma are could did not put an important security measure in place before letting flights take off this could put americans at risk. fox 13's alcides segui is live for us a tampa international with why the senator is sos concerned about this issue. good morning. good morning to you, laura and russell. staggering news coming from tsa saying indicating no air marshals on commercial flights to and from cuba. remember that fort lauderdale

we know that southwest area lines right now tampa international airport is hoping to at least have one flight lead to cuba. here from tia some time this fall. now we no all of it is up in air because what was just found out yesterday. we no rubio has signed a bill that just last week that would end all commercial flights leaving from united states to cuba because what he says, just not enough security measures. rubio is warning the that flights from cuba could to carry out a terrorist attack at homeland security subcommittee hearing yesterday tsa officials confirmed that an agreement sent to cuba has not be signed and returned to the u.s. >> one august tsa released a statement u.s. and cuba reached an agreement allowing air marshals to traveling undercover on certain flights to and from cuba. but again, that agreement was never signed by cuba. rubio took to senate floor wednesday to highlight the potential risk.

have air marshals on flights. because of the experience of 9/11. but we just commemorated anniversary of on sunday. you know have flights 90 miles from the shores that could theoretically xhan deered and repeat of that. particularly in south florida which is just minutes away from the airport in havana. this is just unacceptable. it's unacceptable and quite honestly it's quite scary. as of right now in indication cuba would question this morning by lawmakers and lot of folks that want to travel to cuba why haven't they signed an agreement allowing air marshals on commercial flights. i just wand to remind folks a commercial flight and charter flights. air marshals are allowed on chaert flights. whatever reason cuba has not signed the agreement for commercial flights. who knows why, maybe they will sign it here in the next couple of days once the obama administration puts pressure on cuba. but as of right now, rubio says

flights active immediately because of potential security threat. so again you'll hear from him coming up at 9 o'clock as well. back to you. good, good, he's against travel to cuba since the start. >> he has. despite >> he has. but on that senate floor he also said i don't care where you stand on this issue, this is security threat. i think a lot of people would agree with that. all right, alcides, interesting to be to hear from him. thank you. we'll see you next hour. >> oh let's get right now talking about our weather. good morning. yes couple thing warm real warm and steamy. russell and i will know that first hand. in the next hour. when we're outside. but number 2, no thank you we have gotten the day going, and sun's up and we're destabilizing the atmosphere, southwest wind, look at the showers beginning come on shore. in citrus county. now just quick little tropical downpours you can see them here.

that. we'll see more along the pinellas county coast appear all lined up along the coast. then they will make that shift further inland during the afternoon and evening hours. so starting off very warm. 81 in tampa. 81 in st. petersburg. 76 in westchase. 74 in dade city. wesley chapel is 77. near 80 already bradenton and sarasota. and mid 70s inland. we're going to crank it back to the upper 80s for today. the overall rain around 40 percent. but it's the timing of it. we're going to favor coastal areas during the morning hours. and then shift it inland during the afternoon. and next 7 days, really for right through the weekend, this is the weather pattern we're going to be in 30 percent rain chance tomorrow. and it looks like a solid 40 percent for saturday and sunday. hey dave. we are getting a look at this back up along i-75 from the earlier accident just before i-4. heading northbound.

the right shoulder. so an all travel lanes are now getting by. but this is a look at the traffic backed up to selman expressway. you can see traffic here at crawl it's really sploe back to 301. and a 12 minutes. to get through that area right now. 301 also backed up with plenty of alternate. now mcintosh shut down south of 92. very serious injury accident here. authorities have reportedly shut down a roadway. road both to east much better alternate there. veterans expressway this morning wee not seen a whole lot of traffic along that roadway. a little bit unusual but now an accident of course really tying things up here. southbound the right lane blocked just before courtney campbell causeway past independence parkway delays all the way back to about waters avenue. >> all right. you're a runner but your friends do yoga. and that pure bar thing. which of them is best?

((laura 2shot bw)) and welcome back. 8:30 now. tampa international is about to be a whole lot busier than people would expect for thursday morning local agency are skukting mass casually exercise don't worry, don't worry, it's only a drill. jen is at tia where 200 volunteers are gathering to take part in this. hey, jen. >> hey russ will i knew you were going to say that know this only a drill only a test. i know it doesn't look like mass casualty drill is happening behind me, that's because they

anyone o'clock. and all i want to emphasize about this drill this morning a little different than the drills in the past, this one is isn't all about visual about smoke and flames you might see in plane crash, more about the the individuals. first responder responding to passengers who part plane crash and then the family, family members of victims who are inside tampa international airport worried about how those passengers are doing. so to explain a little bit more about the drill is christine osborne international. you can explain this lot better than i can. good morning. >> so tell me what this drill is all about. >> well well it's requirement by f.a.a. every three years we do full scale mass casualty exercise it tests our response. it's for the firefighters. it's for the airport operations. this is one of our largest drills to date. we will have over 200 voluntary volunteers oh out here and 17 different agencies participating. as you mentioned a little bit different this year.

response our firefighters respond, they triage the victims. and our operations are. and a difference we're a volunteer in main terminal. what they are going to do they are going to simulate friends and family in event of disaster. so our, this brings in more operations our guest services personnel. and they are going to take care of those individuals because that's a such family assistance. they are going to be secluded taken out of the main area, and then we go through the whole operation of getting them to a secure location where they would then briefed and away from the public, from the media. >> and given that time that they need. i'm sure that your plan for what if someone is watch i got to the go to tampa international appear flight to check. no impact to our operations. we do make some announcements

drill and all of our volunteers are wearing t-shirts they see people that maybe looks a little distraught we advised them they are acting we want it to be as realistic as possible because this is our opportunity to really test those components. thank you so much christine. we'll talk to you again in the next hour. we'll out here, for the 9 o'clock hour. i'm sure we will seeing a lot more activity behind me. like she said 200 volunteers from colleges acting part victims plane crash victims and 17 different agencies tampa bay. including tampa fire rescue will be out here responding to those victims. then inside, will be the family members. so i think it will be a pretty cool to go see out here. and definitely plan ahead for the future if anything like that would ever happen. >> back to you guys. all right. see you later. thanks. okay. it is 8:33 now. a viral infection is taking over florida state university. and because of it the school has had to cancel some campus

hand, footie and mouth disease. it's spread armor than dozen students have it now. there is no treatment for the virus either. it can cause mouth sores. skin rash, and fever. right now, dorms are being cleaned with bleach. the school will make sure hand sanitizer is available. school reached out to local restaurants and bars and an asked them to sanitize their businesses as well. speaking of sick, yeah. yeah. >> cold see on is here, y sneezing and the wheezing, constant congestion. it happens when seasons change. september is start of flu season and doctors are already asking people to flu shots. but that will only help with the flu. after decades of trying, pharmaceutical companies have not come up with a remedy or vaccination for what we call the common cold. and then probably never will be. the reason is because there are so many viruses that cause a cold. only thing you can do right now tries to prevent yourself from

is to wash your hands. hand washing. all the time. all the time. just plain soap. hand sanitizer. dave. morning. 8:35. i got some rain. citrus county now as we're watching this on shore wind flow pattern begin to set up now. winds have been light really all during good day. now starting to come southwest. look what's that bringing pg moisture on shore parts of citrus county already dealing with few little tropical downpour pours now. not going to human deal. more a mens than anything. notice up around citrus springs a quick shower for you here's one falling apart. you will start to see this more and more along the coastline. later this morning, and then, we will begin to shift everything inland during the afternoon. so partly cloudy skies. 40 percent the rain chance.

back up to about 89 or 90 degrees. look at julia just tropical depression now. moving an east at two miles per hour. it's not going to move much. we've got all of this whole cone, i don't want to call a cone a big circle of where it could be over next few days with remnants just hanging around there just off the southeast coast likely. so our rain chances, again nothing to do with julia we do have lot of moisture in atmosphere. so 89 degrees once again with that rain chance at 40 tonight, muggy, we'll probably quiet down until very early in morning with that southwest wind flow, see a few little showers pop up along the coast. then those will move inland for tomorrow afternoon again tomorrow's rain chance overall around 30 percent. over the weekend we're back to 40 percent and rain chances, temperatures running 89, 90 degrees. you know, it never dawned on me when we're giving away all of these good day mugs, #welivehere

never given away a mug to a night picture. it nehr daundz on me until i saw this in inbox. what beautiful picture of tampa. that absolutely gorgeous. fox 13 mug for you. courtney. >> very nice. >> all right. dave. well, still a busy morning along interstates and bridges taking live look howard frankland bridge getting a check on traffic flow here. you can see northbound traffic moving across the bridge. about ten minutes rig you across the span of the howard frankland bridge. southbound along veterans expressway is crawl this morning. the right lane reportedly blocked before courtney campbell causeway with an accident. that has traffic backed up to about waters. we're clocking in around 13 miles per hour to get through there. so, as you can expect stop and go traffic this morning. mcintosh road south u.s. 92. rescue still on scene of this wreck. has north and southbound mcintosh road jammed in both directions.

to the east as an alternate. >> out in good day garden with our friend david widwam. good to see you. good to see you too, good morning. david let me in on secret i never thought about, he's the expert. i guess we're taking our garden to the next level. you were telling me that initially, when you came in you started doing this for us every week. you wanted to sort of help us len. gardening. well now that we're assuming we all understand it and garden of education has now become the garden for actual food, right? right. i think 17 or eight different things growing in here when we first started. and we, we didn't get a whole lot of anything. of any one thing. we got a little bit of everything. we were able to talk about lots of stuff. so i would call that more of an information garden and education garden. we were also teaching ourselves

and also what did the crew inside what did they like eating? so now that we've narrow it had down, we're still filling the bed up with just as many plants. right. but less variety. okay. >> what's in here now? we have okra. we went ahead and planned more okra for fall crop in different space that we can get around pesky nematoads some sun gold cherry tomatoes. a couple different kinds of eggplant. we have some pepper couple types of basil. >> now along the way this morning you've putting these sticks are they sticks? they are poles, stakes, bamboo into the ground because you want this garden to do something so you can get it ready for the next big thing? >> we're trying to keep everything growing up. i think i use example to you about crepe myrtle at hope. if you want your crepe myrtle to grow more like tree and less like a busch which going to keep

stuff off on bottom. for example on this to ma to plant here you can see it's trying to put out branchs here at the bottom. and we're just going to go ahead and pick those off. okay. here's another leaf another big old branch i'm going grow go ahead and break. i'm going to tie these up to the poles right here. what do you tie it with orange stretchy stuff. good idea, not tie them too tight. then if we want to go over to this eggplant right here, you can actually see a better view. other side. >> go ahead. come over here. right here. the eggplants also have branchs coming off the bottom. and we've got a to remove the branchs that so we can keep those growing straight up. idea is that's going to cleared out down here once it starts cooling off we want to have room for cool weather stuff lettuces and egg plants. so you, essentially doing is leaving room in the garden for other things to grow?

in two dimensions, and proper spacing but thinking about it in three dimensions. so stuff that stays lower to the ground, we can actually grow below the tomatoes egg plants and pepper ifs we keep them all cleaned up and growing up tall. so kind of look at this to ma to and now it looks more like tree i will keep tying it up we will let it branch out. this is where the bulk of our plant will be. plenty of room downer and spinach that stays nice and low to the ground. very nice. thank you. you're welcome. nice. russell rolling up his sleeves beautiful night under stars happening inside a ballroom where you can see some of the best and some of the brightest in the bay area and combr you

alzheimer's and dementia are both very debilitating diseases.. alz thi and dementia are very debilitating diseases what if fun physical activity of dancing could keep it at bay a little longer. research published in new england journal medicine shows dance & other activities just like it can improve a person's sharpness of mind. and that kcan hold effects of alzheimer's. and of course one way to do that is with dance. keeps you moving keeps you happy. this friday night, people from all across at bay area dancing to raise money and awareness for this very important cause. our own ken suarez, dozens of others will be participating in dancing under the stars event happen bartow sieve six center. fair to dance. jodi with brook dale. they are here to talk about this magical night. good morning to you ladies. thanks for being here.

this is for older people. and dancing, actual dancing. >> yeah. so what we do is chair care to dance goes into the facility. we have a troupe of volunteers and so they perform different dances that would be common to the residents. and we tell them a little butt about each dance to them. ultimately as we call it we're the warm up act. then the big show is when we dance with them. and so that period of acli may gos gets them relaxed and gets them moving. and jodi in her troupe and her assistance and so forth do a great job because they started challenging us to do themed events. this is so great. we're talking tango and cha cha. all of this. and they learn it fairly well? go dave osterberg they get?

because you work with these, these elderly people >> i do. first hand i work a brook dale in winter haven, florida. and we have care to dance that come out about four times a year. and they do a program with our alzheimer's and dementia residence which our claire bridge building where i'm at. they come in and they provide this wonderful activity for our residents. and it is absolutely 100 percent completely it's purposeful. it's meaningful. and our residents get occupy, they dance, they sit in their wheelchairs, they dance and it just, it's something that you actually have to see to believe. i know. you know, i think when i think that most people think of assisted living they think of older people and sort of >> they do. sicker, you know. i don't know, maybe, a little lower key. but when you go into these places, these older people, they are spry and spun key and

they've learned lessons. they really respond to this, don't they? they really do. and it's amazing what you see with them when they start singing or they remember dances like the swing or back to the jitter bug and savoy days. so it's, it's just unbelievable. and so how did you get the ideaed to do this? how did it all come about? i do some dancing, competitively. and just socially. and so my own mother louis body dementia she liked and when i saw some of that when the study came out it kind of grew from there and here we are. so great. tell us what we need to know dancing under the stars. dancing under the stars friday night 6 o'clock tomorrow night. anybody's welcome to come. yes. live band there will be a lengthy period of time of social dancing. and then a little bit of about care to dance and then, the rio grand finale will be a show by
